About this ebook

Which do you follow: your head or your heart?

When Sylvie loses the diamond from her late mother's ring, her best friend, Cherise, insists it's a sign that love is about to enter Sylvie's life. Yeah, right. Sylvie doesn't believe in signs -- she only stargazes through her telescope. But she also knows Cherise won't drop it, so to humor her Sylvie agrees to date the next boy who asks.

Sure enough, a new guy appears in school, and Sylvie's the object of his affection. Maybe Cherise was right after all? But when the sparks don't fly and Cherise thinks Sylvie's just scared, Sylvie ends up confiding in an old friend. Could finding the perfect guy be as rare as catching a shooting star?

Ratings and reviews

All of Sylvie's stars are aligned, just the way she likes them. She has carefully mapped out her future, right down to her Yale scholarship and plans to become an astronomer, just like her late mother. Is it any wonder she refuses to listen when her best friend, Cherise, tells her there's love in her near future? Love is too distracting, and Sylvie doesn't want any part of it. But, when handsome and seemingly perfect Adam enters the picture, Sylvie suddenly finds herself wanting to give astrology and Cherise's predictions a chance. This romantic comedy from the Simon Pulse line of Simon & Schuster stars a unique main character. The obsessive and utterly straight-laced Sylvie is an unlikely candidate for impulsive love. That's what makes her such a fun heroine. Her suddenly out of order life will keep readers intrigued, as they make predictions of their own about Sylvie's destiny. Authors Stacia Deutsch and Rhody Cohon have (rightfully) received much praise for their BLAST TO THE PAST middle-grade series, and I'm thrilled to see they've now successfully ventured into the young adult book world, as well. I'd love to see more from this duo!
